NETWORK TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Computer networks is a fundamental part of any business because allows sharing of resources and
communications amongst the employees and customers. Networking is interconnectivity of various
computer devices such as desktops, laptops, servers, routers, switches, access points amongst others for
the purpose of communication and resource sharing (Zhuravlev, 2016). This is an integral sector and
requires careful planning, design, and implementation so as to ensure that all the business requirements
and functions have been addressed. A well designed network infrastructure increases business
performance and productivity while a poorly design one may cost the business resources in managing
and upgrading it every other time (Salim & Abdalla, 2018). A network should meet the following
properties: it should be secured, scalable, easy to manage, reliable, efficient, and effective in order to
support all the business processes. This report seeks to review the existing network infrastructure and
propose a new solution for CAC’s new office that will meet their business requirements and is within
their budget. It includes proposing computers for every department, ISP provider, IP addressing and sub
netting, and the various networking devices and printers that will meet their daily needs.
Problem Statement
Color Ability and Corporation have purchased a four-story building within Brisbane CBD. The company
has no IT department and wants the new building to be networked so as to meet its business objectives
within the limited budget and resources available.
Goals and Objectives
The objectives of this project include; to design and implement the network infrastructure that will meet
the needs of every department at CAC. Secondly, to acquire reliable but affordable network devices that
will handle the company operations and communication. Thirdly, to recommend computer systems for
general use, graphic production, film production, and email and FTP server and finally to recommend
reliable local internet service provider.
Methodology and Timetable
To achieve the objectives, project will be broken down to various milestones and activities to be
achieved within three months. First is project planning, this includes gathering all the requirements that
is needed to successfully achieve the project objectives. Secondly, is the network design phase where
the network is designed and simulated using the various network simulation tools like Netsim and

Color Ability Corporation (CAC) is a small company but is growing steadily. As such, there is need to
layout IT infrastructure that will support the growing needs of the business. Because of the limited
budget that CAC has, some of the devices will be share by the users. Each floor will have one printer that
is shared by those working in the respective floors. Additionally, every floor will have one 26-port switch
for wired connections and one access point for wireless connections. In case the company grows and
there is need for additional devices, the network infrastructure will not be affected (Weng, Yang and Lai,
2014, p. 674).

Activity 2
CAC requires a printer that is able to handle the heavy printing that is done daily. Being a marketing and
advertising company, CAC needs a printer that give quality prints. As such, the business requires a high
speed, multipurpose printer that will meet the requires of every department. Xerox Phaser 7400 DXF is
the best printer that can handle the requirements of the business. One printer will be bought for every
floor (Cheng et al., 2016, 146). This printer has the capability to print A3, A4, A5, and A6 paper types.
Additionally, it can hold up to 3000 sheet of paper, print speed is 40ppm for black and white and 36ppm
for colored, and has a maximum duty cycle of 150000 pages per month. Xerox Phaser 7400 DXF is a
sophisticated and high performance duplex printer capable of printing super tabloid sizes. Furthermore,
built-in properties like selection of trays automatically saves the company resources such as money and
time by avoiding the need to reprint the documents. This makes Xerox phaser 7400 DXF a solid option
for CAC.

Figure 2: Network Design for Each Floor
The choice of the devices used is essential for the management and future expansion. As such, the
devices used are justified below:
Router
The router chosen for the network is NETGEAR NightHawk X10 AD7200. This router supports both wired
and wireless connections which will best suit the CAC because of the limited budget. It supports fast
media streaming and this will come in handy because customers are demanding for more interactive
media for advertisement such as video presentations. It has the ability to deliver 802.11 ac/ad internet
to facilitate instant downloads and 4K streaming media ultra-smoothly (Mbale and Mufeti, 2011). It is
made up of quad-stream architecture and has a processing speed of 1.7GHz running quad core
processor making it to support speeds of up to 7.2 GBPs.
Switch
The switch recommended is Cisco SG250 26-port switch. Depending on the choice this model can
dedicate either 195w or 100w to the power over Ethernet.

NETWORK TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT
Figure 3: Cisco Small Business Switch
(Source: Ma, Helvik & Wittner, 2011)
This switch facilitates easy management of the network and has advanced features for easy
configuration. It has high performance and reliability to prevent downtimes that may cost the business a
substantial cost. It has the ability to boost slow network, high transfer rates, and facilitates quick
communication. Additionally, it provides basic security required to manage and keep a level of security
for the company, safe guards business data, and keep off unauthorized users from accessing the
network (Ma, Helvik & Wittner, 2011). It is energy efficient and provides additional Gigabit ports to
expand the network. SG250-26 thus, is the best choice for CAC because of its quality of service features.
Wireless Access Point
CAC will need wireless networks to connect laptops, tablets, and mobile phones while at the office. Cisco
WAP 150 is the best choice because it is affordable and provides highly secured wireless connectivity.
This increases productivity within the business and has the ability to run next gen applications without
any lags. It provides 802.11ac wireless connection of up to 1.2 GBPs, PoE Gigabit port, and concurrent
dual-band radio. Additionally, its portal is user friendly and allow the easy customization of rights and
roles (Yiannopoulos and Boucouvalas, 2012).
Server
CAC will require several servers to handle the daily business operations. Some of the servers that will be
needed include, print server, mail server, application server, and backup server. The choice of server
determines the overall productivity of the business, that is, server with a high rate of downtime is likely
to cost the business huge amount of resources, money and time, but server with zero downtime
increases the productivity of the company because of the smooth running of operations without
interruption (Bai et al., 2010, p. 1683). Dell PowerEdge T30 will serve well as the server because of its
outstanding features Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 processor, 64GB RAM, 6 SATA Hard disks, intel HD Graphics
p530, 10 USB ports, VGA, HDMI, Display Port, Gigabit Ethernet, PS2, and serial. This features suits the
server requirements needed by CAC.

Activity 4
Internet service providers are very crucial part of any business depending on the internet. The choice of
the ISP is very important because they determine the overall business performance (Wickboldt et al.,
2015, p. 283). CAC should be able to identify an ISP with minimal downtimes and backup plans for their
clients in case of downtimes. Three local ISP providers will be compared Exetel, Start, and Telstra.

Table 11: IP Addressing Table
Activity 8
Using both public and private address within a network facilitates data privacy and protection. This is
because private IP address cannot be access from the outside network due to shielding from the public
IP (Hohlfeld et al., 2015, p. 4). Private IP addresses ensures that data meant to be accessed only within
the network can be accessed within the network and cannot be accessed over the internet. Private IP is
more secure than Public IP and for this reason the network is more secure and the vulnerabilities of
using either of the individually is done away with. In addition, it is hard for viruses and malware to get
into the network because network is protected from outside access (Woodward and Feuer, 2013). Using
public IP ensures that normal business transactions are carried without infringing on network security.
As such, it is necessary for CAC to use both public and private IP addresses so as to keep their network
secure from outside access, viruses, and malware while still conducting its normal business operations
and transactions.

NETWORK TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT
Future plans
As the company grows, it is expected that more employees will be hired and needs to access the
network. The network has been design so as to meet the increasing business needs and is scalable.
More devices will be added to the network without affecting the overall functionality and performance.
Conclusion and Recommendations
A poorly design network with wrongly chosen devices is characterized by high level of downtime,
insecurity, failures, and unreliability. This may cost a business a substantial amount of money and other
resources. As such, it is important to plan and design the network properly and implement the network
with the most reliable and highly secured devices to ensure business continuity and performance. The
choice of network design and devices are crucial for the overall performance and effectiveness of the
network. Therefore, it is recommended that Color Ability Corporation adopts this proposal because it
meets their requirements, business functions, and is within its budget.
